Abstract
ABSTRACT COVID-19 has further weakened the fragile socio-economic fabric of the Commonwealth Caribbean (CC). Economies have been stifled by ‘lockdowns’, and by a global decline in travel and tourism. The result has been higher levels of indebtedness, unemployment and psychological stress, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations throughout the region. Despite their limited size and resources, CC states have sought to support business and individuals alike, stimulate economic activity and preserve livelihoods. In this article, the authors acknowledge multilateral and regional policy responses, and argue that the present scenario offers opportunities to deepen functional cooperation and build resilience.
